I have just recently moved a site over to my VPS, everything is working fine except for Paypal IPN Emails which arrive in my inbox 2 days after the sent timestamp, I have had 5 which have come through on time, this has led me to think it may be a problem with my VPS settings, however the host SolarVPS have checked the logs and can see nothing wrong, and have asked me to speak with Paypal as they are unable to explain it. I just wondered if anyone here has seen a problem like this, where it only affects one sender.
I have looked to see if others have had this from Paypal before, and seen many issues but not this one in particular.

Why would it be delayed? I'm using cpanel / centos
Possibly too much mail in queue or something else?
During my poking around performance tips I found the DELAY_KEY_WRITE option (and innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 0 for innodb)
which supposedly for mysql will disable the immediate disk flush for every transaction written and instead update only once every second at most?
One thing I've never had to restart on my vps is mysql, it's been great. So is this safe to turn on? Am I risking corruption? Will the performance gain be worth it with only a 16M cache?
I guess you can fugure my account expired with servage. but to tell you the truth, I am so P OFF at them
I opened a ticket on my last day and asked if I can move it from 14 months (that I started with) to a 6 months renewal because I could'nt afford to pay the £74 they wanted, and apologised for this. They said I'd have to pay the 74 pounds first and then change my billing to 3 or 6 months.....
I replied saying can I then pay a sum now and a some next week. as I don't have that with me at the moment but wednesday 9th April I wil be able to remew it all
They replied with:
"Hello Ahmed there is 14 days grace period for customers before account gets suspended."
So I thanked them very much, because like that, instead of paying in installments, I can just pay them the whole amount before the grace period was over, otherwise I would've backed up my data and moved it another server, or on my computer till I remew the whole amount....
5 days later (today), I log on to my account, and it has been suspended as I hav'nt paid for 5 days...thats 9 days before the "grace period"
and now all my domains have this dirty suspended page that they have, and I bet I lost half my members and customers like this, as when I see this page on any domain I enter I never go back to it!
I say to my self its my falt, I should've paid when I had to.....but money was tight, and I told them....and they gave me the 14 days, I did'nt ask for anything, but I thought backing up all my sites and my webdriver that I have with them would take me ages, plus the pages have alot of content that would be a hassle, if I have a "14 days grace period".
This is the first time servage have lied to my face, and not by answering a question with yes or no, by saying a feature they have that does'nt exist and but wednesday I bet all my customers and members would've found somewhere else to hang out, as I only contacted them through the mail server on the site and my forum, now I can't even right "we will be back soon....don't go away",
I thought I warn you guys about this grace, if you have an account with them make sure your ready to renew before it expires, and don't believe most of the stuff that they say.
OMG, I used to promote for these people, and tried hard to always say good stuff about them, you see my sig, it was a promotion for them with a coupon code (that I dredfully apologies about to the administration for not reading the rules properly), and I get in return a lie straight in my face with no warning and no way of accessing my database what so ever. Just be warned Guys, don't believe everything they say to you and backup all the time because you never know why they suspend your account.....even if your on thew right track
If a hosting company offers both paypal and CC on file (CC on file with auto-subscription/-recurring ability), which payment method do you prefer to use as a customer?
I am looking for a resonably pricing hoster that accepts paypal. I do not own a credit card but do own a bank account. I cannot for the love of me find a hosting company that will accept unverified paypal accounts which is my only method of paying for hosting. Can someone please refer me to a hostign company that actually does take unverified paypal?
Paypal started sending me notices that it was unable to connect to my IPN (I'm using modernbill v4) yet I used it without a problem for 3 years.
The sent this message in response to my support inquiry:
I have had the IPN logs checked and show that, on recent transactions, your Web server returned an HTTP 200 OK on some of the transactions. Transactions were pulled from:
Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:00:09 GMT and Date: Thu, 03 Jan 2008 22:20:48 GMT
The reason that you are receiving the E-mail in question is due to your server not responding with an HTTP 200 OK rsponse. When this happens, the PayPal system attempts to resend the IPN POST for up to four days at which time the E-mail in question is generated to inform the merchant of issues with the IPN script.
This issue is not a PayPal issue, but is rather caused by your server's response to IPN POSTs sent to the IPN Script.
Can anyone help me explaining how I could access my sister's paypal account through LINUX VPS (is it possible) from BANGLADESH?
I wanted to buy a VPN but it is more or less the same price for a VPS. So I want to buy a VPS, as some say VPN and VPS works same when you browse internet with specific country IP.
As I'm going to use my sister's paypal account(she lives in UK)I need a IP address from UK, so that paypal doesn't assumes that I'm using it from BANGLADESGH. Can anybody help me with this issue?Please...
Is there is any "web browser" included in LINUX VPS? I mean when I log into my VPS account, can I browse internet just like I do with my local ISP. This all about using the paypal account from Bangladesh and added benefit would be that, I can use this VPS space to host some of my site.
Can anyone suggest what to look for in VPS (LINUX one, as it is cheaper than windows VPS) considering the above issue.
I have some experience with WHM and cPanel. Shall I look for WHM enabled VPS ? Or something else you suggest. What else to look for in VPS hosting or do you suggest any VPS provider from UK?
I need 10 to 15 GB of web space at this moment. If needed I will upgrade it later on to more "disk space" and "RAM".
"BROWSING internet using VPS from BANGLADESH is the main issue here"
Does anyone know of any pay-per-hour VPS/Cloud/Grid/Utility/whatever other buzzword services that accept PayPal, since I can't seem to find any around.
Day 1 - Ordered server, agreed price and spec and installation date. Quoted 3 days setup time.
Day 3 - I was told need an extra day to setup this I said is fine.
Day 4 - server is setup but is missing 2 drives and only has half the ram I ordered. I email them to tell them this.
Day 6 - They finally respond to my email and tell me they have fixed the missing drives and ram they also offer me 10 days free as compensation. The problem is now the server is completely down, doesnt even respond to ping.
Day 7 - I email them to tell them server down and I now want a refund, I offer to accept a partial refund to compensate them for manual work involved in setting up server. (412 euros paid 350 euros refund), this offer made in goodwill so resolve quickly. 2nd proposal sent later for only 300 euro refund.
Day 9 (today) - No reply whatsoever and server still offline I raise a paypal dispute and within 1 hour I get a email telling me they agree to my 2nd proposal (only 300 euro refund) however they want me to cancel paypal dispute first.
I have read the paypal dispute policy and I see if I were to cancel the dispute and they then not refund me I have nothing since I cannot reopen the dispute, whilst if he were to refund me and I was to try and scam him he would have a strong case as paypal have the refund logged so he has far less to worry about. So I am not cancelling the dispute and even offered to set it to 300 euros but he says if I dont cancel the dispute I get no refund.
Just want to know peoples thoughts on this, consider I never have had the server I ordered working, its currently completely down and he was ignoring me until I raised the dispute which doesnt put his trustworthyness very high.
If some body pays by paypal for some services we need to verify that it is not a fraud so he has to fill up a form and send a government issued ID. but please see this chat conversation. the customer is reluctant to do so see the chat
====== Guest: photo id? Guest: i am verified paypal. Guest: why all this. Guest: sorry, i can't send you something like that. Guest: no one ask me something like that I have 25 servers Guest: in europe, usa, asia ===============
I am looking for hosting with following parameters:
- US-based (preferably datacenter owner, not sub-leaser) - Accepts PayPal - Offers KVM over IP or some kind of console-BIOS-level access (Need it for linux kernel rebuilds, OS [re]installation etc.)
The only one I found that accepts PayPal is Sharktech, but it don't offer KVM over IP .
Is there a good directory that lists datacenters with their business parameters? I found this site datacentermap-dot-com but it just lists datacenters on map and is not very useful for searching.
Anyone know a good registrar who accepts Paypal payments with a .com domain price of around $10 or less and privacy option for about $2 or less? I also need to be able to set nameservers in a control panel.
Registerfly and GoDaddy didnt work... both ask credit cards and I only have Paypal.
A week ago i came across a installation of a fake paypal site on a account i am using on cpanel. The site had the latest wordpress installed on it with nothing else.
I would like to know;
How is it possible to access the account to install the paypal site and how can a person prevents this in the future. i came acros the site by accident and cant check on all my clients sites all the time.
i recently buy an 100$ from a website that sell paypal funds because i was thinking of buying a hosting and domain in godaddy but once i go to the payment they wanted me to put in a credit card info that i don't have
i was thinking of buying an
Deluxe Hosting account with go daddy with 150 GB Space | 1,500 GB Transfer
anyone can offer me much cheaper website i don't need unlimited because they got so many issues regarding to the TOS i want a website that accepts Adult Content and if its available ffmpeg support would be nice.
Hi all. If you are a FSCKVPS member then be aware that you should NOT pay your invoices using their Paypal subscriptions.
Here's my story: My first monthly payment I made using a regular Paypal payment. Everything was ok. So I created a subscription the next month and was immediately billed by Paypal. Interestingly my invoice was still marked "UNPAYED" in the fsckvps system. So I opened a support ticket (10 days ago now). They forwarded it to their "Billing Level 2" departement and told me that they have problems processing Paypal payments that are subscriptions. Days went by and nothing happened. I received emails that my payment was overdue so I asked them again to please mark the invoice as "PAYED". Nothing happened.
Until yesterday they suspended my account!!! Ever since I'm trying to get my account back online. I even payed the invoice again (!!!) using a regular Paypal payment but that didn't help anything except that I'm paying twice for no service now. Nobody seems to care. I opened another ticket with support, hoping that another departement might be more helpful but the ticket was just again forwarded to "Billing Level 2". There's no phone number or anything to contact them. It's a shame, because I like their service and the technical support personnel has always been a great help to me. But not their billing people.
When paying for my server, I prefer to pay with PayPal. Is it normal when I want to pay with PayPal (if they except this), the hosting company also wants my CC number and CVV2 code. What's the use then of paying with PayPal.
I don't mind to identify myself with copies of driver licences, but CC is different story.
